This lovely video, involving the production of a living work of art in NY's Grand Central Station, is a reminder of the possibilities and pleasures of the aesthetic, and perhaps, for those who have been reading Hardt and Negri, an example of the kind of immaterial production of the common whose labor-form has become, they argue, hegemonic today.
I was going to write something about this! And also this: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
(People suddenly get up and do the dance from Thriller on the London subway, and then sit down like nothing happened.) But I hadn't figured out what I was going to say about it. Maybe something about Happenings. Maybe something about the thrill of having an aesthetic, unexpected experience in a world of TiVo and iPods. I'm still not sure.
I wish people in New York would unfreeze for five minutes some time.
